1 night away in Brussels! 1 fucking night and I come back to this

Surely she’s got to get a custodial sentance for this. I think breaching a restraining order carries up to 5 years. Probably do her the world of good to go away for a while then a prison diary book deal when she comes out.

Oh my. Oh my my. Strictly speaking this should be in the breakfast thread but plaudits all the same. You are the Hieronymus Bosch of the foodie thread, I wouldn’t eat it but I admire the effort.

The battle of Kursk and the Anthony Beevor Berlin. I’ve replaced them both already.

Finally got round to reading this, the same author as the Wire. Got a 2 hour Eurostar journey in front of me so I’m going to eat this lemon tart then buy a decent red wine and settle down on the train.

Ok, fair point. I stand corrected.

The whole issue is a rabbit hole discussion taking place mainly amongst academics, HR departments and Twitterers. I don't think many other people give it much thought. This is why the extreme trans activists are gaining ground in sport and academia, they are not facing much opposition yet. The risk for Labour is that they don't realize this and think backing trans rights to the detriment of women's rights and identity is a vote winner in wider society whereas I suspect it's a vote destroyer.

I suspect if you are selling your old clothes on E bay, copy writing is not one of your skills.

30 Rock. Must have been mentioned before, it’s brilliant. Apparently the Tracey Jordan character is 100% based on Eddie Murphy, almost a biography.

2 feral teenagers stole my Amazon parcels off the doorstep today in full view of the CCTV. Didn’t even bother to conceal their identify. They got 2 books about WW2 and a box of grass seed. Not worth risking a criminal record for in my view for but each to their own.

Start by the Jam was released nearer to the end of WW2 than today. As with Ashes to ashes and baggy trousers.

Fixed that for you.

Looks lovely but too hot for roast dinner today. I’d sleep for a week if I ate that on a sunny afternoon.

I hold my breath when reverse parking. Have done all my life. 40 years of driving now. Don’t know why

I’m like that with electric shocks, got a nasty one off a broken plug in my teenagers and been wary of electricity ever since. Once you know how much something hurts you never forget.
